욥기 28:21의 탈무드

²⁷²The homily here is a considerably shortened version of one in Berakhot 1:8 (5c l. 29; Notes 322–324) where R. Illai (La) notes that 4 useful things mentioned in Job can be replaced when lost. Text B has the full quotes but still lacks the necessary introduction. The homily of R. Levi is unchanged. When Rebbi Simeon ben Zevid died, Rebbi Illai rose and eulogized him. But silver has a source²¹³In religious learning., etc. Iron is taken from dust²⁷⁴Job 28:2., etc. Those, if they are lost, have replacement. But a scholar who died, who can bring us one similar to him? Wisdom, where can it be found²⁷⁵Job 28:20., etc. It is hidden from the eyes of all living²⁷⁶Job 28:21., etc. Rebbi Levi said, if the brothers of Joseph lost their spirit because they found a find, as it is written, they lost their spirit²⁷⁷Gen. 42:28., we, who lost Rebbi Simeon bar Zevid, so much more²⁷⁸Note in G the unusual form עַל אַחַת כַּמָּה וְאַחַת כַּמָּה for the common עַל אַחַת כַּמָּה וְכַמָּה “so much more”.!
